Technical Services

John, I asked Brian to investigate taking a number of ESA's engineering folks
into his central Technical Services group. These folks would continue to
work on ESA's projects but would get the resources and support of the
centralized body particularily in their negotiations with outside vendors
including NEPCO and OEC. It would also be another linkage into the SAmerican
business from Houston to help monitor and defray technical and development
risk. Lets see if Kishkill and Redmond get to the right answer.
